I have found the leather used on Garage Leathers bags to be superiour.
Mine doesn't flop around at all, and has been in the sun and rain for two years now and is not fading.
Bhty are more expensive though, but I think there's a reason.

yes. it mounts at 3 points. 2 at the top strut and 1 on the brake caliper. its not floppy like your thinking. its floppy the other way.

Why is it that no one ever takes rear or front profiles when they show off new bags?
Bag looks sweet, but would love to see it from the rear.

I meant floppy as in doesn't hold it's shape. Also, the cover is a bit big and sloppy, adding to the overall unshapely characteristics.
Funny, the dark black ones I see in some of the pics, mine doesn't look anything like those - it's saggy and dull black.

Nice profile O.F., did you have to relocate the turn signals ?

I relocated them for a set of detachable HD bags but with the plate moved, I can use both sides from badg. HD's bracket is another "WTF were you thinking" moment IMO...
and WTF was I thinking for buying it I guess . I'm going to have it narrowed this winter or may just replace it with an Easy Bracket version.
